Motor Specifications

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
This ScrollStation is designed to use a variable speed RPM
motor. It is wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz. alter-
nating current. Before connecting the motor cord to wall out-
let, make certain the power switch is in the OFF position and
be sure the electric current is of the same characteristics as
stamped on the ScrollStation nameplate.

Connection To A Power Source

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type out-
let protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay fuse or cir-
cuit breaker.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure that
your outlet, as pictured on this page, is properly grounded;
have it checked by a qualified electrician.
To avoid electric shock, do not touch the

metal prongs on the plug when installing or
removing the plug to or from the outlet.
Failure to properly ground this power tool can

cause electrocution or serious shock, particu-
larly when used near metal plumbing or other metal objects.
If shocked, your reaction could cause your hands to hit the
tool.
If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any

way, have it replaced immediately to avoid
shock or fire hazard.

Specifications

Your unit is for use on 120 volts; it has a plug that looks like
the one in Figure 1.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and this
plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type outlet as
shown. It must be grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of the
two-prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUND-
ING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO-prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE-prong outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Always use proper extension cord. The use of any extension
cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum
and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table
below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension
cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the
tool's plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
